A Dream~. . .
. . . to soar above the clouds.
. . . to tear through the sky at mach 2.
. . . to pilot the most maneuverable aircraft.
. . . to terrain mask ("hug the terrain") at break-neck speed.
. . . to hear the growl of a sidewinder.
. . . to pull excruciating Gs.
. . . to fly sweep, s.e.a.d, strike, c.a.p, e.t.c. missions.
. . . to fly high yoyos and rolling scissors.
. . . to be a F-I-G-H-T-E-R P-I-L-O-T!
The possible odds* against me. . .
1) My age - what I hear is that they prefer the younger trainees to older ones. The young learns faster.
2) My imperfect eyesight - Who would think of a specky when the term "fighter pilot" is mentioned?
3) My no-alcohol conviction - Its a grog drinking, rowdy culture! (rowdiness comes with alcohol, doesn't it.) "hmm... your character would not fit the fighter world" - a possible comment by instructors?
The uncertainties*. . .
1) The availability of fighter slots; the demand at that given point in time.
2) Physiological/health/psychological problems at any point of training.
3) Just not cut out for it?
The assurance, comfort and strength. . .
My GOD is sufficient. He is in absolute control. And yes, the uncertaintes and odds are His to control. He is the one who grants wisdom and gives the skills. God most high is the one who decides and brings to pass whatever He wills. My GOD is a living GOD!
"But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath, the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation." - Jer 10:10
"I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me."
-Psa 57:2
"For the LORD most high is terrible[to be feared and revered]; he is a great King over all the earth." - Psa 47:2
*I'm quite certain that there are more odds and uncertainties that I may have overlooked but these mentioned are the gist of what I see.

Hey bro, I didn't know you had such a tough time and had I, I would have been more fervent in prayer for you. But I praise God with You for His mercies - new every morning. Who can doubt the Lord who possess all power to open vast skies and close tiny wounds. Today's sermon reminds that you and all His children are the apple of His eye - yup! Right in focus. So just train our eyes on Him when doubt and uncertainty cloud our vision.
